Scenes you can't believe someone actually thought would be good. (no spoiler tags)
I watched Torque this morning and I can't believe not only did someone think up the cycle/chick fight but they were able to convience other people it would be interesting enough to actually film it and put it in the final product 
Then again for most of the movie I guess I was trying to figure out how it got approved in the first place 
Anyway I thought it might be fun to see what are some of the other "incredulous" scenes (in the sense you can't believe someone thought it up and it got filmed) that are out there? Not necessary like Torque where the whole film was
maybe it would be more interesting to put it in the context of otherwise good/enjoyable movies that just have one scene that makes you go

The whole 'open door/plane in flight' fight sequence is utterly laughable, made only worse by the "Get off my plane" line uttered by President Harrison Ford

Loved the movie, but the bedroom romp near the end of Return of the King was poorly-conceived at best. Taking Ian McKellan out of the equation probably would have helped a little.

"Some motherf***ers always trying to ice skate uphill. " from Blade 
The scene from the Transporter where he beats up 50 guys in that warehouse... while rolling around in the oil.

I don't see where there's much in the way of spoilers but I guess it's fair to give a warning. I tried to add (no spoiler tags) to the thread title but I'm not a mod in this forum and the edit of the first post didn't effect the main title. Hopefully one of the mods will take care of it.

The part in Batman & Robin where they..you know now that I think of it, the entire movie was ridiculous. Well i'll go with the ending of Mystic River with Penn's wife's speech. WTF??

Still cheesy but better than the original!
I remember waiting for my friend in front of the movie theatre and I was overhearing 3 guys in their mid-twenties talking about "Freddy vs Jason". They were talking about that movie like it was the best movie EVER! They were saying things like " You know, when you thought Freddy was dead and them BAM! he comes back!? That was sooo coool!"
I hope that they were kidding...
